Donate to this charity
Local charity, Essex Dementia Care has been supporting families and their loved ones through their dementia journey for over 15 years now. As a small charity we rely on donations to help us to continue offering a high quality service.
We believe that ‘’Life doesn’t Stop with dementia”, which is why our experienced practitioners provide a personalised service that enables clients to continue enjoying an active, independent lifestyle for as long as possible. We also offer support and respite to family members supporting their loved ones on their dementia journey.
"All staff have always been so helpful and reassure me that I can phone any time for a chat!" Margaret - Wife of client
Our weekly group sessions focus on a wide variety of fun and inspiring leisure activities – such as arts and crafts, music, games, and much more – while our One-to-One service is tailored to each individual, with activities and outings built around their personal interests and skills. In the warmer months clients benefit from visiting our allotment project for getting close to nature and becoming involved in planting vegetables and fruit.
"Essex Dementia Care are wonderful support and the workshops really suit my husband as he's very social and likes being around people" Carol - Wife of client.
